At Arizona State University, where I was briefly in the Museum Studies
Certificate program, the M.A. was a 30 plus credit hour program and the
certificate was only 18 hours.  It was not necessary to have a master's
prior to taking this program, but it was considered best to combine the
certificate with another M.A., such as in Art History (this particular
Museum Studies program was in the Dept. of Anthropology).  Sometimes I
wonder if I made the wrong choice in dumping the program at ASU...any
feedback?
